This restored U.S. Army 1/4 ton cargo trailer is a beautiful addition to any Willys MB, Ford GPW or Hotchkiss M201 Jeep. Finished in military green and marked with U.S.A. registration number 0213848, this trailer has the classic appearance of a Second World War jeep trailer. Based on the supplied information and G-529 / MB-T research, this registration number is associated with a Willys MB-T trailer from around November 1942, with an estimated data plate serial number of approximately 12157. Final confirmation depends on the original data plate, chassis details and further inspection.

The trailer presents very well, both technically and visually. The cargo tub is clean, the interior is neatly painted and the exterior has the unmistakable lines of the wartime American jeep trailer. With its lunette ring and military towing setup, it is ideal for use behind a historic jeep and suitable for re-enactment, vehicle shows, commemorations, film productions, displays or as a practical addition to a WW2 vehicle.

Please note: this trailer is offered as a historical vehicle / collector’s item. Viewing and collection by appointment only via Delware Trading.

Subtle advice block
Pairs well with a Willys MB, Ford GPW or Hotchkiss M201, and can be completed with canvas covers, pioneer tools, jerry cans, vehicle markings and other WW2 U.S. Army accessories for a historically convincing setup.

Historical Context 
The American 1/4 ton cargo trailer, part of the G-529 series, was widely used behind jeeps during the Second World War. These lightweight trailers were designed to carry extra equipment while maintaining the mobility of the jeep. They transported ammunition, fuel, tools, field gear, personal equipment and general supplies. Thanks to their simple, strong and practical construction, these trailers became a familiar sight with Allied units throughout Europe.
